When you feel defeated by sin and hopeless ever to change, delight yourself in Romans 7:24-25.

When you feel condemned by God for your multiple, repeated failures, speak aloud the words of Romans 8:1.

When you lack power to resist conforming to the world, consider Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 6:14.

When you feel weak and powerless, be energized by Romans 16:25.
When you are tempted sexually, never forget 1 Corinthians 6:18-20.

When you find yourself saying . . .

I’m not having any impact in life or on others, be uplifted by 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.

I feel guilty and filled with shame all the time for my sins, be reminded of Ephesians 1:7.

I live in constant fear, be encouraged by Luke 12:32; Revelation 2:9-11.

I struggle with anxiety and worry about everything, don’t neglect the truth of Matthew 6:25-34; Philippians. 4:6-7; 1 Peter 5:6-7.

I am defined and controlled by my past, look to 2 Corinthians 5:17.

I live in fear that God will abandon me, consider his promise in Romans 8:35-38.

I can’t break free of my sins and bad habits, linger long with Romans 6:6,14.

I’m afraid to pray and fear that God will mock my petitions, take heart from Hebrews 4:14-16.

I carry grudges against those who’ve wronged me and live in bitterness towards them, reflect and meditate on Colossians 3:12-13.

I can’t find strength to serve others, fearing that I’ll be taken advantage of by them, let Philippians 2:5-11; and Mark 10:45 have their way in your life.

I’m a spiritual orphan and belong to no one, rejoice in Galatians 4:4-7.

Each of these texts refers to the gospel of what God has done for us in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ and each text applies that gospel truth to the particular problem noted. These, then, are just a handful of the ways that the gospel affects all of life, all of ministry, and everything we seek to be and do and accomplish as Christians and as the local church.
